Description
The Sleep of the Righteous by Wolfgang Hilbig is a powerful and apocalyptic account of Germany's trajectory from 1945 to 1989. Through a series of surreal and often disturbing stories, Hilbig delves into the psyches of both East and West Germany, revealing a nation struggling with its demons. From the bleakness of war-torn industrial towns to the absurdity of life under communist rule, Hilbig's writing combines elements of Romanticism and absurdity, evoking the eerie atmosphere of films like Stalker. This is a somber statement on the ravages of history and the promises of the future, written by one of Germany's most acclaimed writers. Hilbig's unique voice weaves together disparate threads to create a complex and thought-provoking portrait of a nation in crisis.
